Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 394 - 156: Another Capable Little Assistant!
Because it was Friday and there were no classes the next day, the group had a blast at Great Era KTV and returned to school only past 1 a.m.
That night, Su Zelin had a strange and bizarre dream.
The dream was incredibly long, leaving him in a daze all night.
Only when the first light of dawn appeared did Su Zelin open his eyes.
Su Zelin put on a set of Anta sportswear, got out of bed, and went for a morning run.
Zeng Kaiping didn’t join him; the spirited young man’s alcohol tolerance was quite poor. Last night, he was quickly made to feel his stomach was bursting by Ding Linna, who had him drinking, and he ended up vomiting in the bathroom.
This bad drinking tolerance seemed to be a trait Zeng Kaiping had never improved, even after becoming wealthy from the Hed area redevelopment. Despite hanging out in nightclubs frequently, he still lagged on the drinking front.
Yet he loves rallying people to drink all the time. Whenever Su Zelin shows up, he insists they drink until they drop; he’s poor at drinking but loves the thrill, a true enthusiast.
Research indicates that a person’s alcohol tolerance is largely related to their metabolism.
Take Su Zelin and Ding Linna for example; both have good physical foundations and constitution, they also work out regularly, making them exceptionally fit. With such robust metabolism, a bit of practice makes them formidable in drinking bouts. Then there’s Nanaz, who’s even more impressive, having grown up drinking with her dad.
At the sports field, neither Luo Xi nor Nanaz was in sight today.
Perhaps they sang karaoke a bit too late yesterday and had some drinks, making it hard to get up. After all, it’s the weekend, perfect for sleeping in.
Still, he ran for an hour, worked up a sweat, and only then leisurely left.
Back in the dormitory, he found a big bag of breakfast on his computer desk: soup dumplings, stuffed buns, fried dumplings, fried dough sticks...
Additionally, there was a small bag with egg pancakes and onion buns and a cup of salty soy milk specifically prepared for Su Zelin, while the rest was for his roommates.
The people in the dorm weren’t up yet, even the model worker Feng Zhongliang was sound asleep.
Without a doubt, Su Zelin knew that this big bag of breakfast was delivered by Huang Panpan.
Lately, the junior girl had been acting strangely, she wasn’t clinging to him as much, although she would send one or two simple messages each day, like good morning or good night. Sometimes she reported on her way to self-study, and occasionally sent breakfast.
Often, breakfast would arrive when he went for his morning run; she would quietly come and leave, like a silent flower, leaving breakfast without a trace.
The junior girl was still around, but unlike in his previous life, she suddenly became sensible, without the discomfort of being constantly by his side.
Is it due to my confidant-brother strategy?
Or did Panpan’s personality become less intense, no longer like a clingy plaster?
Su Zelin couldn’t figure it out, neither was he aware that this change resulted from advice given by an emotional expert from a nightly radio show.
After Huang Panpan’s defeat by the Great Demon King at the Jianglan regional gathering during the Mid-Autumn Festival, she called the emotional hotline that very night for survival tips.
Teacher Zeng gave her a second strategy: Go (Change) With (A) The (Different) Flow (Goal).
Yet, the junior girl misunderstood Teacher Zeng’s implicit message and thought the expert advised perseverance, believing things would naturally fall into place.
Unaffected by setbacks, Huang Panpan quickly rallied herself back to action.
Though she realized she was Vegeta and not Kakarot.
Then she thought to herself.
Vegeta eventually became a Super Saiyan too!
So this young lady’s failure to transform wasn’t due to failure, just that the time wasn’t right.
Your anger and power levels haven’t yet reached the threshold; rushing transformation leads to failure, that’s normal.
But as long as you go with the flow and keep accumulating anger and strength, you’ll eventually break through to transform into a Super Saiyan.
With this realization, the junior girl revitalized herself the next day and continued her strategy of nine shallow approaches and one deep one.
Su Zelin picked up the egg pancake and onion bun and began eating, still warm, suggesting the junior girl hadn’t left long ago.
Maybe next time I should come back earlier from my morning run. It’s not easy for the junior girl to deliver breakfast so early in the morning; at least I should meet her.
The emergence of this thought took Su Zelin by surprise.
He suddenly realized that his attitude towards the junior girl had subtly shifted over time.
In his previous life, he avoided her as if she were a plague.
Now he actually wanted to see her.
Even last night while singing karaoke with Nanaz, he felt an urge to engage in a dalliance close to home.
Even though it was under the influence of alcohol, it was still quite improper.
It seemed like, after rebirth, many things had quietly veered off their original path, developing unpredictably...
...
After breakfast, with nothing to do in the dormitory, Su Zelin made a trip to the electronics store.
As the behind-the-scenes boss and manager, now that Kang Baohong was stationed at the Zhejiang University store, even though nominally speaking, the Finance Institute store was under Su Zelin, so his time was always quite flexible.
Moreover, a manager’s main duties are different from regular employees—they focus on team management and personnel allocation. Staying in the store all the time might overshadow others and steal their spotlight.
Hence, after putting on a show in the first year, in his second year, Su Zelin decided to let loose,
coming and going as he pleased, with others having grown accustomed to it.
Of course, during the high season for computer assembling, Su Zelin would still be stationed in the store often.
After the peak season, there were still many customers, but mostly for the freebies, which wouldn’t be harvested until New Year or next semester.
